Many thanks Vince - I've been keeping and eye out for this episode but still managed to miss it! I firmly believe my Elise is the scruffiest one in the world but this just might have had me beat. Inspired to twiddle some spanners before I watch. Ready for Donny DT...
Cheers

Don’t be expecting too many technical insights from that show. Worth watching it though.

Use a VPN that links back to the UK.
There are many free ones if you want to watch a one off, just ignore the plethora of ads though. Or you could take a free trial with a pay service such as
https://www.expressvpn.com/offer/free-trial Just make sure that you do not forget to cancel your 'subscription when you have finished watching!
Bon chance

Steve - RRaaasssspp!
That wot cumes of tying to type left handed.
I note that when the bald one holds up a rear suspension spring/damper he claims it's a chapman strut!
Still seriously pretty little thing the original S1.

I caught the last half hour and as always, seeing the owners reunited with their cars after troubled pasts makes me a little emotional. This series is not so much about perfect restoration but bringing cars back to life for those owners who perhaps could do with of a little bit of luck. This particular episode had a very sobering conclusion.

Doh!
I have an ad blocker and I am loathed to switch it off, added to the fact I'm in Australia, which doesn't help.
Car SOS has got a bit more "show" than technical content, but I stil like it as entertainment. So long as it doesn't completely sell out like Wheeler Dealers did.

Yep, I would agree with that.
